Why This Build Exists
Overwhelming Engineering Crush: This build differs by emphasizing turret support and a higher range of structures over raw melee damage.
Weapons
The Hammer provides reliable melee damage while enabling turret resets on attack, synergizing perfectly with the Dwarf’s Engineering bonuses.
The Chainsaw enhances your ability to slice through enemies rapidly, compensating for the Dwarf's low attack speed through overwhelming DPS.
The Medical Turret provides passive healing and extra damage output, maintaining sustainability through rigorous combat scenarios, especially crucial during boss fights.
Main Items
Increases max HP while boosting enemy health, integral for a sustainable build in high enemy density.
Enhances max HP and adds HP regeneration, crucial for durability while slowing down the game's pace.
Allows for weapon upgrades in shops, enhancing weapon effectiveness as the game progresses.
Massive harvesting increases is essential for the Dwarf's low attack output, giving boosts to damage without sacrificing sustainability.
Provides an additional damage boost when enemy density peaks, making fights against bosses significantly easier.
Upgrade Focus
The Dwarf requires high HP to survive in dangerous environments, especially given the high-scaling enemy health in Danger 5.
Sustained health regeneration is crucial during waves filled with enemies and during boss fights to maintain a health pool.
Boosting melee damage further increases your DPS, allowing for efficient clears during intense enemy waves.
Early Game
Focus on acquiring basic upgrades to Max HP and HP regeneration while securing at least one Medical Turret early on.
Mid Game
Integrate more Engineering upgrades and secure Alien Magic and other HP-boosting items for sustainability as enemy density increases.
Late Game
Stay mobile, utilize turrets, and ensure you have max Health upgrades before facing the dual bosses to outlast their damage output.
Build Reasoning
This build effectively maximizes the Dwarf's engineering and melee capabilities by doubling down on turrets, enhancing survivability while maintaining substantial damage output during crowded enemy encounters. Utilizing dual weapon copies of high DPS lends majesty to the build while addressing the Dwarf's unique disadvantages.
